I got a very good laptop from pcspecialist.co.uk, i7 processor 8GB RAM,
It came with Windows 7 pre-loaded but everything 'just works' when i
installed Lucid onto it.
I'm only writing this as when i was trying to find one that had high
specs, there isn't a great deal of documentation out there guaranteeing
that you won't have any issues with an Ubuntu installation.
It was this model - http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/optimus/
The good thing is you can specify exactly what you want, much like Dell,
so the cost is up to you.
